Wooing the boss?

Tagged as: Forbidden love<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (25 December 2009) 4 Answers - (Newest, 6 June 2010)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have a crush on my boss. At times it subsides some and then comes back again. I have remained professional. I never flirt or show signs I like him. I have had a crush on him for nearly eleven months and recently I decided that I should find another job since this is not going away. If he likes me he can go after me, and if not then I can start to forget about him. I found a job that is part-time for now with full time potential in the next 3 to 6 months which means I will remain at full time job for now until I am promoted at new job. ( I have confidence in my success at the new job) I want to know what I can do to give my boss suttle hints that I care about him so that he has atleast some idea that I like him. For example he was sick so when I went to get my pay check I brought him so soup. Of coarse I was nervous so I did not say much to him. I was hoping for some other ideas that will not go over the top. Nothing that will distract for the proformance of the job or be conceived as sexual harassment (wanted or not). Any ideas...

Libra1963 agony auntI'm in a similiar situation. Bosses often feel very isolated from their colleagues. They know that people find it hard to approach them. When you leave ask him out but not too obviously e.g. wd you like to go out for a coffee sometimes. Can we keep it touch? See how it goes from there.

Good luck!

kitty_3 agony auntwhen you leave you could tell him your feelings or ask him out. or you could take it slowly and invite him to hang out, as you mentioned.

this is, of course, if he is indeed single.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I am leaving the company in the next 3 to 6 months if all goes as planned. Once I leave should I ask him if he wants to hang out some time or do you think he would approach me if he was interested. (I don't know if he even knows I like him. I have only acted professional to him because I don't believe in work place romances) On another note, I did bring him soup, but I do things like that for everyone. Another employee had a bad cold and could not take cold meds do to other meds she was taking so I brought her in something herbal when I came to work. I like to go the extra mile in showing people I care because our world can be a pretty cold place at times. A kind act can go a long way.
